I’ve got something to say today

Social media are ways to communicate with the world, whether it’s through:

  • Blogging
  • Voting on social news sites
  • Using social bookmarks to recommend things that you like
  • Commenting
  • Sharing images, video, or audio

People who actively participate in social media want to be heard. We have things that we want to say and we want other people to know about.

This is an incredible time in the history of humanity where people have the ability to be heard by hundreds, thousands, even millions of people though the cost of an Internet connection.

I want to be heard, too. There are times when I struggle to figure out which things I want to say, and how to say them, but I wouldn’t be using a public forum if I didn’t want to be heard.

It seems to me that more and more people are seeing what I have to say. That’s a great thing for me. I get some satisfaction from that knowledge.

I’m reading what a lot of other people have to say, so it’s mutual. :)

Today’s message is: thank you!

Thank you if you are:

  • A friend, colleague, or acquaintance from places like StumbleUpon, Digg, Mixx, Sphinn, Reddit, Social News Central, Team Marketing, Facebook, Twitter, Pownce, etc…
  • Someone who’s commented or given feedback to me in some fashion
  • Someone who I know in real life (I think there are a couple of you out there… ;) )

Very importantly, thanks to my wife, kids, brother and family, my parents, and my extended family, because you are the ones who have no choice but to put up with me!

But most importantly, thank YOU for reading. I enjoy blogging, which is its own reward, but if I didn’t want to be read, I’d still be handwriting journals and hiding them in a box somewhere. I like knowing that someone out there is reading my writing.

P.S.  “Catch the brainwaves” is back tomorrow!
